| Re: My Mum's Cat
I sort of agree with Julie, I think aniimals may be able to sense sickness perhaps even know when its terminal (after all they reckon dogs can sniff out tumors don't they) also because animals aren't as vocal as we are they are experts in reading body language...
Perhaps this cat's own family have just had a baby or something and its been looking for a new less stressful / less chaotic territory and has had its eye on your mum's garden.... It would have noticed very quickly that the other cats wasn't there to shoo it off so it stayed and probably also read the sadness in your mum's posture. an unhappy human is probably a good bet for a cat that they are likely to get some affection, a warm lap and/or some food - which is a rather cynical viewpoint but might easily be the case!!
There is a neighbourhood cat that keeps turning up in my garden and just sits and stares at me through the window... my cats all seem to have turned into pacifists and don't shoo it off at all..... |
